Why in the **** couldn't they shrink the bezels on the Pixel 2 to match the 2XL? Was gonna upgrade my wife's iPhone to the smaller pixel but **** off google that's a huge goddamn phone for a measly 5" screen

I'll never understand how anybody buys anything other than android. Apple is a dumbed down pile of **** version of a phone that only 12 year old girls should own that make you spend half the phones price on charging utilities and extras much like their piece of **** computer counterparts. Samsung, while pissing me off for a while removing the micro sd slot woke the **** up for that and fixed it, but still not replaceable battery is not up my alley.

How you can be tethered to a piece of **** apple product who doesn't allow you any more space than what's in the phone is beyond me.

google cloud messaging on android is flawed by design for android > 5.1.1

devices go into 'doze' mode, stopping all services to save battery. it will only wake if you receive a notification that's marked as 'high priority' by GCM

Gmail and Hangouts messages are sent with 'normal' priority, which doesn't wake the phone or give a notification until the handset is woken by other means

the overall effect is that email is no longer instant push on android - it's 'get notification when you check your phone', not 'check your phone when you get a notification'

lots of other things can wake the phone, including motion sensor triggers, so a lot of people don't notice or complain

its not rom or device specific - its the way android and GCM are designed. i can reproduce the issue easily - i have 2 identical phones, and if i put 5.1.1 on one - and anything above that on the other - leave the phones on a table for over half hour and send an email. the 5.1.1 device gets the email notification instantly - later versions dont.

IOS successfully wakes the device and shows notifications instantly though

I feel like I've been noticing this lately, ****.. not sure why it didn't bother me before. How long before the device goes to 'sleep'?
